Prada Infusion d'Iris EDT

Is there really a need for this?

From nstperfume.com

Prada will launch a Eau de Toilette version of Infusion d’Iris in August. The new fragrance for women focuses on the iris flower — or “a memory of iris”, since most iris flowers are not scented — instead of the more traditionally used iris root.

The new Eau de Toilette was developed by perfumer Daniela Andrier, who also created the original Infusion d’Iris. Additional notes include neroli, lily of the valley, violet, heliotrope, cedar and galbanum.

Prada Infusion d’Iris Eau de Toilette will be available in 50, 100 and 200 ml

I don't know, I'm excited about it. As long as it isn't just a lighter version of the original, that is. The notes listed sound pretty different from the original so I'm optimistic. So far I have enjoyed all of the Prada Infusions. Something about them appeals to me very much although I know they aren't the most unique or daring fragrances.

I really like Infusion d'Iris EDP and Infusion d'Homme. But the rest I feel are mediocre, at best. I personally would like to see Prada move on.....

The packaging for the EDP (which I adore - in fact, it's my SOTD) lists "mandarine d'italie, neroli de tunisie, bois de cedre, benjoin du laos, encens de somalie". Iris pallida is the central note, of course. On my skin, the incense and benzoin, I think, are amplified.

I think that the EDT sounds like it will be considerably lighter and greener, perhaps more powdery (powdery floral, that is).

I love the Infusion d'Iris EDP, but I've been really disappointed by the other "infusions" that followed. It'll be interesting to see if the EDT is really that similar to the EDP.

Re: Prada Infusion d'Iris EDT

I regularly use the EDP and appreciate that the Iris pallida develops gradually, not as a front-on slap that quickly fades. There is a marked emphasis upon the beautiful scent of the Iris pallida's rhizome as well as the blossom. It sounds like the proposed EDT would kill the pleasure for me, making a sweet powdery floral impression. There are plenty of those in my collection already.

Hello!
i just bought this new infusion d'Iris and I must say that I much prefer it to the original EDP one which I also have and is one of my favourites.
I like the vetiver and the mastic and the galbanum which somehow come out as a greener, fresher version and is much more 'day wear'.
The EDP sometimes was a bit too much for me, whereas this EDT is much more agreable to splash on in the morning and I can take a deep breath in it...something that I can not do with the EDP.
Having said that, as it is much lighter, it also does not stay very long...But neither the EDP stays as long as one would expect from it.

I'm actually going to purchase this soon,I do like the heavier emphasis on the iris flower and the addition of violet and heliotrope.I got good lasting power and medium sillage when I sampled.Not bad for an EDT,nor for the price.If it's what you're shopping for,it's worth a try.

Re: Prada Infusion d'Iris EDT

Well I finally got to sniff this one today. WOW!!!!!! I was shocked, its not really a flanker at all. The tone and feel are really different from the edp. Its lighter airy and the iris and floral notes really make it quite feminine. The violet and heliotrope really help vamp up the iris note. I love the edp but its a heavier woody fragrance on me.

Re: Prada Infusion d'Iris EDT

I have to admit: I tried it, I liked it!
I did not find it dramatically different (particularly in the drydown), but it is overall lighter and fresher in a wrist-to wrist to wrist comparison. I compared briefly at a department store, and the next day I could smell some on my coat--wasn't able to tell if the drydown I smelled was EDT or EDP.
In the first hour, though, the EDT strikes a very different mood. The EDP is dryer, woodier, and its mood is heavier.

I don't *need* the EDT , but would be delighted to receive it as a gift!
